A diplomatic rift between China and the United States deepened on Tuesday with Beijing accusing Washington of flying high-altitude balloons into its airspace, as the US military examined debris of a suspected Chinese spy balloon it downed this month.
The US military has since carried out three more shootdowns as it combs the skies for objects that were not being captured by radar.
Wang did not provide details on the other countries involved, declined to specify which parts of Chinese airspace the incursions happened or provide photos as evidence.Adrienne Watson, spokesperson for the White House National Security Council, tweeted on Monday: "Any claim that the US government operates surveillance balloons over the PRC is false."
Biden, who has repeatedly vowed to protect US airspace and criticized China over the balloon, has also said that he does not believe relations between the two countries were weakened by the incident.
